If today had been the era in which Prophet Mohammed lived, the Ashanti Regional
Chairman of the New Patriotic Party claims he would have openly supported the
NPP rather than a “nasty” political party like the National
Democratic Congress (NDC).Mr. Bernard Anwti-Boasiako has said the level
of religious bigotry in the NDC has reached an ugly point making it easier for
adults like Alhaji Collins Dauda to spew garbage that should only be recited in
a mental home.
Local Government and Rural Development Minister, Alhaji
Collins Dauda, is in the news for advising Ghanaian Muslims to vote against the
NPP and its presidential candidate if they do not want to suffer
discrimination.
He also stated that Muslims who are live under an
Akufo-Addo led regime are bound to taste the hatred politicians inspired by the
Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition have for Muslims.
"The NPP looked into my
face and told me that because I am Morsi, I am not a Ghanaian and they challenge
me to go to court until the court cleared me.
These are the people we
are talking about. My brothers and sisters, must you entertain someone who has
hurt and deprived you in the past? These UP people are not people that the NDC
and Muslims must listen to and trust,” he said in an address to some Muslim
youth in Koforidua in the Eastern region.
But the Mr. Bernard
Anwti-Boasiako who is popularly known in the political circle as Chairman
Wontumi tells Peacefmonline.com that the NDC has now realized
that several Zongo communities who are buying into the policies of the NPP and
to make an immediate amendment, they have resorted to making reckless
statements.
Aside Alhaji Collins Dauda, Chairman Wontumi alleges
President Mahama has also been “reckless” when it comes to wooing electorates to
his side.
“Recently we had a president who went to Mamprugu in the
Northern Region just to tell a gathering that they must reject Dr. Alhaji
Mahamadu Bawumia because he isn’t their biological brother and might turn out
not to be their real brother”.
“When you have a president and
minister talking in this bigotry and reckless manner, it explains to you that
they are coming from a political party made up of divisive people. They only
wish we had a divided Ghana”, he said.
He added that unlike
President John Dramani Mahama who visited only the Andani Gate during his recent
visit to Yendi, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, demonstrated leadership by visiting
both the Andani and Abudu Gates during a visit to the same area.
Nana
Akufo Addo recently visited the G
bewaa Palace where he interacted with the
Regent, Kampankuyanaa Abdulai Andani, and his elders.
He later received a
similar reception at the palace of the Bolin-Lana, who urged him to remain
committed to the national good as he goes about his campaign activities.
“Between Nana Addo and President Mahama, who would you say comes
from a political party that has love for Muslims?” he
asked. |
